Original things for original people.

I know it has been awhile . . . again since I last post. I have been still dealing with back problems and cleaning. This is my next big cleaning up project.

The clean stamps. I foresee a few slurpees and chocolates just to get through it. It is a complete mess.

Although a funny note is while I was sorting out my buttons, this truck button was stuck in this jar. I eventually got it out with a help from a friend. But still that question still remains, how the heck did it get in there if I can’t get it out. Good grief.

However I have participated in a few art exchanges. One was favourite quote on an ATC and we had to used a playing card. This was mine and the second one was the one I received from the exchanged. I went alittle overboard because I completely covered the playing card.

The quote is from Maya Angelou, “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”

These two are birthday cards for my nieces. I cannot believe one of them turned 18, ghee, it didn’t seem so long ago when she was playing with Barbie.

I did do a delivery for Koda’s Kountry for Easter. And please excuse my big toe in the shot

I just thought I do a quick post here mainly because it is late and I am tired. I have 3 days left before the day. And Friday, I am packing the car early.

However I did finish one of the prizes this week. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the shawl, maybe next year. But if you do not mind me tooting my own horn. I am so proud of myself of this album. I REALLY want to keep it. Fortunately, I have enough paper and envelopes to make another one. Which that one will be mine.

I am hoping that I have enough tickets, I made 66 tickets and I have been told not to worried. Worst case scenario, we will just blank sheets of paper. Now I have to remember to bring paper as well. I will put that in my first aid kit.

I even made a draw box which I think it is cute. It is one of those Halloween treat boxes which I wrapped with Christmas paper. But I also enforced with duct tape and put a can of soup inside. I know that sound weird, but it will keep the box standing up.

I have less than three weeks before the big sale in Bentley, Alberta. While everyone including my bf tells me that I am going to be fine, I am still freaking out. I have enough Christmas cards that my plastic bin for Christmas cards is completely full. I can’t put anymore in. I still have to make a few birthday cards and some bird cards. But I am still worried that I don’t have enough or no one is going to buy anything.

I know, I know, breath.

I am still planning to do the draw, but I can only do one prize. I didn’t get the shawl done in time, but the album is almost done. And if I do say so myself, it looks damn good. I am hoping to get it done this week and try to figure out of what to say.

I want to hand out tickets for customers when they make a purchase, but I do not want to give someone three tickets if they buy three dishcloths. It has to be purchased price. As well I am still trying to figure out of how to document the drawing and posting it on here. I am not technical person.

The big problem is that life got in the way again. My mom’s computer got hacked into so I had to help her out. Did I mentioned that I am NOT a technical person? Then I thought that I could move a table to get to plug in my charger. Notice the word, “thought”, you guess it, I was wrong. I ended up throwing my back out so that was just peachy.

So I missed a few days of working. I am hoping today to finish 5 cards, and a bear. No problem. . . . I hope.

In other news, I cannot remember if I mentioned this, but one of my hairdresser’s clients saw my cards and bears and offered to put them in her sales during the summer if I want. Of courses, I said yes. The sales went really good and I sold out of little bears. The only part that bugs me that she removed all of the care instructions of my knitted and crochet works.

Why would she do that? If I brought a scarf, I would like to know of how to wash it without the fear of wrecking it.

The good news is the money I made from the sales, I was able to treat myself to a color and purple highlights. I thought it would be nice to treat myself that didn’t involved chocolate, or yarn. I thought of getting a manicure, but I am so stressed out that I have been chewing my nails. So that is not a good idea.

You may recall that I did a post about this ball of yarn and that I had no idea of what to do with it. And that I have a yarn addiction that I do go shopping to get a fix. But mainly, what should I do with this ball. What should I make?

I do not know why this link will not work. So you have to copy and paste it yourself. Good grief.

But nevertheless, here is the scarf. I ended up making it into a cowl. Something simple and easy.

In other news, I finished a step in the prize album for the Christmas Sale in Bentley. I am currently waiting on supplies, but I thought I would give everyone a sneak peek. I am really proud of myself that I might have to make myself one.
